Patient's question:
The little girl is almost three years old, but she still can't control her bowel movements. When asked if she needs to use the bathroom, she always shakes her head and says she doesn't need to, but she can't say when she ends up wetting her pants. Some people say it's bedwetting and doesn't require treatment—it will improve as she grows older. Seeking expert advice: Will pediatric enuresis be cured?Doctor's answer:
Enuresis in children primarily refers to the phenomenon of nighttime bedwetting that occurs again in children over the age of 5. Currently, your baby is still under 3 years old, and strictly speaking, it cannot be diagnosed as enuresis. Moreover, there are many reasons that can cause bedwetting in children, and it is necessary to identify which one applies. There are factors such as intergenerational inheritance, small bladder capacity, and detrusor overactivity. Most children can overcome bedwetting as they grow older, while a few may continue to experience it into adulthood.
